In brief

What we changed in iDharma, recorded month by month, with the newest first. 2026 is laid out in full; earlier years are folded under Earlier updates. Changes to our policies and legal documents are recorded separately in the changelog.

01 September 2026 updates

Release notes, a new footer and simpler agent-audit pricing

Estate re-scans and second opinions

Two new ways to work with us: a re-scan of an estate we have already audited, and a second opinion on an audit carried out elsewhere. The framework pages also explain why an audit against a named framework costs more.

Simpler agent-audit pricing

Agent audits are now priced by access level (black-box, read-only or proxy), which replaces the earlier nine-tier price list.

Prices in search results

Audit prices are now published in the structured data of the pages that sell them, so search engines can show them. Example success stories were also removed from the site.

A redesigned footer

The footer now has four columns of links (Explore, Company, Legal and Get in touch), with a strip below for guides, standards, verification, industries and tools, plus the iBrothers Group family of products.

02 August 2026 updates

Agent audits, a two-step request and new frameworks

Industry, lender and Insights pages on the new design

The fintech lenders page, the industry pages and Insights moved onto the same design as the AI Audit page.

Insights: eight launch articles

Insights launched with eight in-depth articles on AI auditing, led by What Is an AI Audit? The articles contain no invented statistics, client names or testimonials.

An Audits menu and a deeper EU AI Act page

  • A new Audits menu in the header, listing every framework we audit against
  • The EU AI Act page now covers risk tiers, roles, Annex III, general-purpose AI and the steps to compliance

A two-step audit request

The request form now starts with your situation: where you operate, your domain, how many AI systems you run and which frameworks apply. The choice of audit tier comes last, and contact details are the second step.

Two ways to buy an audit

Choose an audit by depth, from a quick scan to a full audit, or choose one by the framework you need to meet.

Pricing and a real sample report on the homepage

The homepage now lists audit prices and links to a real sample report.

Agent audits

Independent audits for AI agents. An overview page, plus a page for each of three access levels:

  • Black-box
  • Read-only
  • Proxy

California FEHA and Illinois HB 3773

California FEHA and Illinois HB 3773 join the framework catalogue as frameworks 30 and 31. The main navigation now reads AI Audit, Frameworks, Agent Audit, Industries.
